Queens Memory Project

Queens Memory is a program created in collaboration with Queens College, to collect stories and images of life in the borough. The program provides training and the necessary materials for anyone to contribute interviews, photographs, and other records that we then preserve and make available to researchers. Our website, QueensMemory.org, features selections from this growing collection of digitized materials from Queens residents and from our archival collections. Explore Queens Memory now and learn how you can participate.
